Biology Chapter 6: Tissues

A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

Tissues allow for the division of labor, enabling cells with specialized functions to work together efficiently and effectively.

<p>A diagram should be drawn showing the structure of striated, smooth, and cardiac muscle fibers. Striated muscle has a striped appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments. Smooth muscle lacks striations and has a spindle shape. Cardiac muscle is striated and branched, with intercalated discs connecting adjacent cells.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Striated muscle is found in skeletal muscles, is attached to bones, and has a striped appearance. Unstriated muscle is found in the walls of internal organs, lacks striations, and is involuntary. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart, is striated and branched, and is responsible for the heart's rhythmic contractions.</p> Signup and view all the answers
